Welcome back to Meal Prep Monday! Mondays are busy for me, so getting one step ahead of myself helps stop a long day from feeling even longer.
These prep-ahead fishcakes are a family favourite. You can use red or green curry paste, and switch up the breadcrumbs too.
These were coated in panko breadcrumbs but I often use leftover bread.
Prep-Ahead Thai Salmon Fishcakes
• 4 salmon fillets
• 4 small-to-medium sweet potatoes (about 460g), cubed
• ½ red chilli, deseeded and chopped
• 1 bunch of spring onions, chopped
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp Thai curry paste (red or green)
• Breadcrumbs (leftover sourdough works well!)
• Chopped coriander (optional)
1. Cook the salmon fillets in your airfryer or
oven.
2. Boil the sweet potato cubes until soft.
3. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan. Sauté the spring onions, ginger and chilli until fragrant.
4. Transfer the sautéed ingredients to a mixing bowl. Flake the cooked salmon into the bowl, then stir in the curry paste and chopped coriander, if using.
5. Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the hob for a minute to remove any excess moisture. Mash them.
6. Fold the mashed sweet potatoes into the salmon mixture. Shape into 8 fishcakes and coat each one in breadcrumbs. You don’t need an egg wash—the sweet potato helps the breadcrumbs stick.
7. Leave the fishcakes to cool, then transfer them to the fridge until you’re ready to cook.
8. To cook on the hob: Spray a little olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the fishcakes for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. To air-fry: Spray with a little oil and cook until crispy and golden.
Save this recipe for your next meal-prep day, and let me know if you try it!
